It seems that Nvidia is planning to update its lineup, replacing the GeForce RTX 4090, which is currently priced at $1,979 on Amazon, with the upcoming RTX 50 series. Recent leaks have surfaced that not only talk about the GeForce RTX 5090 but also a version exclusive to China, the GeForce RTX 5090 D. Furthermore, there are rumors hinting that the GeForce RTX 5070 or possibly the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti could be launched soon.
Nvidia's Upcoming Announcement
In a livestream, a representative from Inno3D was heard discussing the GeForce RTX 5090. They mentioned that Nvidia is expected to make an official announcement 'at CES 2025 in January', although Nvidia has not confirmed this yet. However, it's important to note that CEO Jensen Huang will be presenting a keynote address on January 6 at the CES event in Las Vegas.
Availability Timeline
Interestingly, the same Inno3D representative also claimed that the GeForce RTX 5090 might be available 'in just three weeks', suggesting a release around the third week of December based on the livestream timing. VideoCardz points out that this timeframe likely indicates when Nvidia will start shipping early units of the GeForce RTX 5090 to its partners, such as Inno3D, rather than when it will hit store shelves. Regardless, it seems that the GeForce RTX 5090 is already in mass production, which could also apply to the upcoming GeForce RTX 5070, 5070 Ti, and GeForce RTX 5080.
